I recently had the opportunity to speak with Bridget Coggins, associate professor of political science at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Coggins has a fascinating body of work that examines often overlooked non-traditional security issues and uses fact-based research to counter even the most pervasive conventional wisdom. We discussed her book, Power Politics and State Formation in the Twentieth Century: The Dynamics of Recognition, and her analysis of the politics—and implications—of state recognition. We also talked about her research into the the logic of rebel diplomacy, whether state failure causes terrorism, and the relationship between governance and maritime policy.
Listen to hear more about Coggins’ work, which I highly recommend, as well as her advice to young security scholars. Be sure to follow her on Twitter @BridgetCoggins and keep an eye out for her future work, including her next book Anarchy Emergent?, which is bound to be another invaluable addition to the international security literature.
